I have enough tops and bottoms for 200 hives. Sometimes I have to use makeshift tops or bottoms because I run out, which would mean I'm over 200, and sometimes I have some setting around, which would mean I'm under 200. In queen rearing season I usually have 200 mating nucs also. I usually try to overwinter between 30 and 50 nucs in addition to the 200 hives. But people like round numbers. So I'll just say 200.

I have 18 more or less.....I got a swarm call tonight so maybe it will be 19 tomorrow!. Mine are not all in the same place - 2 at home, 2 at Blue Heron, 2 in Rabun county, 1 at my daughter's house, 2 at the Stonehurst Place Inn, 9 in south Georgia....
